I have been following this for a long time. I was ready to work on a rotary, when two things happened. One is the discussion on Turbo and the other was unemployment. I now am trying to do Real estate and hope money starts coming in so that I can finish my velocity. Last Sun-n-fun I had some lengthy discussions about turbo'n a 13-b and how I can get rid of all that heat from a pusher.
So now a year later and some progress, I am not worried about high altitude airports, or at least at this time, since in Florida, flat lands is not a problem. But then again, I am not building a velocity to just fly LOCAL. Just boosting a 13b and only to 200+ just sea level and not normalizing it for higher alts (at this time) and using the turbo as a muffler. Well another sun-n-fun and more discussions on to turbo or not. Any rotary velocity going to sun-n-fun or the bar-b-que dinner?

good muffler and you harvest the hot gasses for more power. I vote for13BTurbo.
